Fulham take on Watford at Craven Cottage as Gameweek 6 gets underway at 12:30 BST, with three players on show who can boast a double-digit ownership.

Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.9m), Jose Holebas (£4.9m) and Roberto Pereyra (£6.3m) are owned by 24.3%, 19.6% and 16.7% of Fantasy Premier League bosses respectively and all three start – as expected – in the lunch-time encounter in west London.

Watford indeed are unchanged for the sixth match on the spin, while Slavisa Jokanovic has made two alterations to his Fulham starting XI, both of which come in defence: Denis Odoi (£4.5m) and Cyrus Christie (£4.4m) make way for Calum Chambers (£4.4m) and Timothy Fosu-Mensah (£4.5m) respectively.

Ryan Sessegnon‘s (£6.2m) much-hyped Fantasy potential continues to diminish, as the youngster lines up “out of position” at left-back for the second week in a row.

Only Sergio Aguero (£11.4m) has had more efforts on goal than Mitrovic (20) this season, but no FPL forward can match the Serbian’s tally of ten shots on target.

The Cottagers might find it hard to break down their visitors this afternoon, however: only two clubs have allowed fewer shots on target than the Hornets, who rank fourth for least amounts of efforts on goal conceded in 2018/19.

No FPL defender has created as many chances, registered more assists or fired over as many crosses as Holebas this season, meanwhile.

Fulham XI (4-3-3): Bettinelli; Fosu-Mensah, Mawson, Chambers, Sessegnon; Seri, McDonald, Johansen; Schurrle, Mitrovic, Vietto

Watford XI (4-4-2): Foster; Janmaat, Cathcart, Kabasele, Holebas; Hughes, Doucoure, Capoue, Pereyra; Deeney, Gray

    Cholevas so why do we change that to Holebas?

    Same with Hrvatska -> Croatia.

    Never understood this.

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years

      Who cares ?

      1. Bubz

        Kellz86

    2. noquarternt

      Different words and letters are pronounced differently in different countries.

    3. Kellz86
      • 8 Years

      Lol some salty retorts, was just a thought

    4. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Slightly numpty
      We dont call any countries by their native name, just as other languages dont call England England

      1. Catenaccio FC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        This.. For example nobody calls Germany Deutschland.. And in Greek we call England Agglia..

        1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          I think most of the EU call us something much worse

    5. *sigh*
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      It’s like Jonty to Joe while Its rumoured his real name is Joseph.Mysterious man of mystery.

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        He managed to make his name more dullard

    6. Four Hit Wonder
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      A lot of countries have different names in different languages. Sverige is just one example. Deutschland. España.

      When transcribing names into a language - which is done when alphabets differ - there are rules for each language, and the goal is to make the speaker pronounce it as similar as possible to the native speaker.

      So my guess is that Cholevas actually sounds more like you said Holebas.

      Or there are two ways to transcribe Greek.

      Happy?

    forget your mendy and robertson

    holebas and doherty essential.

    1. Oven Glover
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Any sons of yours playing in this game?

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        only mitrovic

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Own Holebas and getting Doherty this week both look good options

  3. Brosstan
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Hughes looks like Watford's worst player. Poor in possession.

  4. Zladan
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    I’m not a fan of clubs using the “England fans in Russia” tune for chants.

  5. Oven Glover
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Mitro angry.

  6. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Owning Kabasele is so frustrating, comes close from a set piece every GW then lets in a goal late on to take away his CS

    1. Rsforstar
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      its like ben mee last year lol

      1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Owned him last year too & was massively frustrated

  7. Camzy
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    That Vietto is class. Great composure on the ball.

    1. Texas Pete
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Caught my eye too.

  8. #FPLBhuna
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Mitro 100% getting a yellow today

    1. TAT
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Yup. Brought him in only this week, so that's unavoidable.

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Same

    2. polis
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      A decent shout most weeks

    3. Four Hit Wonder
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Not if he gets a straight red.

  9. The Mandalorian
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Hugh Grant in the stands watching Fulham.

    1. Hooky
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      You had me at Hugh

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      I thought you meant Hugh Laurie xD

  10. Bielsa's Bucket
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Don't think I've heard them mention Sessegnon once - ain't even seen him on pitch.

    1. Hooky
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      I assume they are playing him today to try to get at Janmaat but he hasn't got forward much yet.

  11. Jimmy Floyd
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Mitro looks very angry today, hope he doesn’t lose the plot and get a red

    1. Midlands Saint73
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Just got him in on WC so there is a chance

    2. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Really hope not

      Just got him in

    3. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Kabasele has had his number so far.

  12. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Who is the Fulham penalty taker, do we know?

    1. polis
      • 15 Years

      Mitro

      1. polis
        • 15 Years

        1. Camzy
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          Cairney not playing.

          1. polis
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 3 days ago

            I know but if the question is more general, he's in the picture.

    2. Bielsa's Bucket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Mitro

    3. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years

    6. OPTA FPL
      • 15 Years

    7. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      1. Birds of Prey
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Thx I don't have a dog in the fight (good game though), but I'm rooting for the Mitro v Red. Care to lay odds?

  13. #FPLBhuna
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Mitro is very similar to diego isn’t he lol

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      A sabre toothed tiger?

    2. The Mandalorian
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Yes they both wear budgie smugglers

    3. Birds of Prey
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      A poor man's version.

  14. FlockofSeagulls
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Commentator - Mitrovic has many talents, including being able to start an argument in an empty room.

    Classic! 😆

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      No it isn't.

      1. FlockofSeagulls

        You must be fun at parties. 😆

        1. Marvin.
          • 9 Years

          No I'm not.

          • 9 Years

          Also you may be unaware of the reference.

    2. Zladan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      He’s obsessed with Kabasele. Keeps going on about how big and strong he is.

      Getting a bit weird now.

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Maybe he has first hand experience

        1. Four Hit Wonder
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 days ago

          Or he's dying to.

    3. Oven Glover
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Said about Craig Bellamy as well.

      1. IRBOX ⚽

              • 9 Years
              8 years, 3 days ago

              I was hoping you weren’t referring to the NRL coach in Australia

              1. Oven Glover
                • 11 Years
                8 years, 3 days ago

                No clue about NRL. Lots of interesting (shocking) stories about the Craig I referred to. Once whacked Riise with a golf club.

    3. Zladan

    4. Patch

      No thanks guys, I am looking for positivity...have some sympathy for those who triple capped Mitro

      1. Four Hit Wonder
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 days ago

        Who would be mad enough to do that?

        I capped Laca, that's mad, but capping Mitro is a whole new level of madness.

  18. Francescoli
    • 12 Years

    Mitro’s odds of being sent off are shortening

    1. _Make

      Fuse

    2. Brosstan

      Id put my money on Mawson

  19. SirStevieG
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Remember when Mawson was good.

    1. Rostah
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      Nope. I do remember when he played with Fabianski though. Made him good from an FPL perspective.

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 days ago

      No?

  20. No Salah
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Mawson red incoming

  21. Piggs Boson
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Mawson deserved an orange card for that. Bad tackle.

  22. Zladan
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Deeney bullying Mawson out there.

  23. The Mandalorian
    • 14 Years

    Watford’s mascot looks nervous every time Mitro runs past.

  24. Bielsa's Bucket
    • 14 Years

    I hate when Deeney plays against us (Arsenal) - but has a neutral, he is amazing in what he does, he isn't Messi, but he does the job and eggs team on

      In football attacking threat terms, anonymous.

  28. Camzy
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    Fulham keep trying to be Barcelona, end up losing the ball stupidly and then hacking a Watford player down in frustration.

  29. Zladan
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 days ago

    There will absolutely be a red card in this game.

          I mean he should be getting an appearance for sure..

        Probably just a (reasonable) assumption tbh.

      As an owner, but non-captainer, I'm nervous.
